 HOW TO GET THE BRANCH
 ---------------------
 
-The branch uses Bazaar 1 (http://bazaar.canonical.com) for version control.
-
-Retrieving the latest version of the branch:
-
-	baz register-archive -f http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/arch/2004
-	baz get [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty <directory>
-
-This incantation uses an archive mirror that is hosted on a
-high-bandwidth site.  Please note that on average there is a two-hour
-delay for commits to arrive on this mirror.  My primary mirror is on the
-low-bandwidth http://lorentey.hu/ site:
-
-	baz register-archive -f http://lorentey.hu/arch/2004/
-	baz get [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty <directory>
-
-This is "instantly" updated, but very slow from outside Hungary.
-(By "instantly" I mean as soon as I connect the notebook I work on to
-a network.  It could take days.)
-
-The Arch supermirror provides mirroring services for all public Arch
-repositories.  We have a mirror there, too, if you prefer.

+To get the branch, check out the "multi-tty" CVS branch from Emacs CVS.
 
-Don't worry if the above checkout takes a few minutes to complete;
-once you have a source tree, updating it to the latest revision will
-be _much_ faster.  Use the following command for the update:
-
-	baz replay
-
-You can find more information about Bazaar on
-http://bazaar.canonical.com/.  It's a distributed source control
-system that is somewhat less broken than competing projects.
-
-If you don't have Bazaar, the branch has a homepage from which you can
-download conventional patches against Emacs CVS HEAD:
-
-	http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.html
-
-I suggest you use Bazaar whenever feasible.
+Alternatively, you can use Bazaar version 1 (not 2) or tla:

-DEBIAN PACKAGES
----------------

-If you run Debian, or a distribution based on Debian, you are welcome
-to use our binary packages; put these lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

-	deb-src http://aszt.inf.elte.hu/~lorentey/mirror/apt unstable multi-tty
-
-Note that these packages are intended solely to provide an easy way to
-test the new multi-tty features.  They are not to be taken as Emacs
-releases, and it's a mistake to expect robust operation or any kind of
-timely support for them.  Do not install them, unless you'd like to
-have your editor crash on you.
